Nuestra Señora de la Soledad

Soledad was established in a remote region about 30 miles southeast of Monterey. It was a "hardship" post which suffered high missionary turnover.

Thirteenth of the California Missions, founded October 9, 1791. The grounds, which still contain the ruins of the mission's adobe walls, are a haunting reminder of how difficult life must have been at this remote and desolate mission.
